MANTRA/ZIKR

Meher Baba

A mantra is very beneficial to a neophyte on the
spiritual path, particularly so when it is given by the guru.
The first and immediate result accruing from frequent
repetition of a word or words is the concentration of the mind
on the subject to be gained.

Secondly, the sound vibrations as
a result of continuous repetition induce, in the course of
time, harmonious sympathy to the sound vibrations of the
higher planes, engendering a blissful feeling  a factor
greatly encouraging to a beginner.

This blissful feeling,
coupled with the awakening of mental powers, is called the
Mantric force, and it has immense possibilities for good as
well as bad.
